(^O^)

..but I probably wouldn’t…(^^;)…

Actually, five yen coins would be even more fun, because you could put them on a long string and wear around your neck or something!

I would buy a car. I am just boring.

100 million yen isn’t really a lot of money.

In any case if your option wasn’t available on the original frivolous poll then the “retards” wouldn’t have been able to select it.

(A comparison of the savings rates in Japan and the United States makes me think Americans shouldn’t start throwing around labels like that in a context like this, fwiw.)

Where are the people who would spend some, invest some, and save some?

Not sure you could track it down to one original instance though.

You could do all but a couple of these with blank paper :)
